Our Purpose...

is to provide free or low cost housing at volunteer host homes for patients and their families who have come from out of town to receive medical care at Philadelphia area hospitals.

Each year, thousands of people travel to the Philadelphia area seeking medical care. Almost every patient has someone travel along to provide support. Often these people, and even the patients themselves, arrive in desperate need of convenient, inexpensive lodging.

Hosts for Hospitals meets their needs through our network of volunter host homes. Out hosts are caring people who provide a place to sleep and a feeling of home. Guests are able to return to the hospital each day refreshed and thus able to best offer support to their loved one.
